Fancy watching a Japanese anime subtitled in Spanish? Or a Brazilian telenovela in Indonesian? Singapore-based Viki.com can help; the site allows you to stream subtitled TV shows from 100 countries for free, in 200 languages. Currently, 30 million people around the world tune into Viki's licensed shows each month, two-thirds on their mobiles. "We have licensed primetime content from every region of the world -- basically like Hulu, but global," says Armenian native and founder Razmig Hovaghimian. Launched in December 2010, Viki crowdsources translations from its team of volunteers; so far they have translated 600 million words.

Here, you can see ten Viki shows representing the four global regions, in their translated languages and where they're watched. "You can really see how TV travels the world," says Hovaghimian.
